They do have good young WR's, but neither are very adept at the running precise routes that Manning has become accustomed to. Especially Thomas, who came out of the whacky Georgia Tech O and didn't get any help last year just running around trying to get open while Teblow scrambled. And they lost their top TE, Fells to the Patsies.

They're no longer young. Clark hasn't been an impact player for a couple of years. Stokley the same. Manning hates being pressured by the LB's. An injury to an offensive lineman, and Manning will have trouble.

the broncos are already division champs without Manning, and now we add Peyton Manning?...

this forces SD to step up this year...SD hasnt won the division the last 2 seasons, but i think many still favored SD to win the division anyway...

Manning in the past have not had such a powerful run game behind him... our offense will be really tough to deal with...

charger fans get ready... afc west will be a battle...

i think its a two team battle between SD and Denver...

I'm not sold on my team competing for the division yet (but I will admit I have been impressed by the moves so far.)

With that said, don't count yourselves as division contenders quite yet as you still have issues to address on your D. You cannot let Manning carry your team like he did with the Colts, otherwise he will not last that long.
